Goals and an Untethered Realms Giveaway

Goals are off-the-chart awesome when scored on the soccer field. Catching various World Cup group matches has given me a deeper appreciation for the sport. One thing that stood out as important is stamina. Seriously, I can't even begin to imagine what it's like running back and forth across a huge pitch sweeping and tackling and manuevering a ball so gracefully for two sets of 45 minutes.

That reminds me that this writing journey is not to be ridden full speed burning the candle at both ends. It's a journey for the long haul.
Some goals I make.
Some, not so much.
But I still stay on my grind because this is what I love with a fearsome passion. Perhaps one day it will reciprocate lol!

For June 2014, I set the following goals:
Finish another round of edits for BEACON (YA dystopian/urban fantasy) - DONE! YAY!
Finish edits for ONCE UPON A SUMMONS (MG fairy-tale smash up) - You see, I was going to...but then what had happened was...NO.
Do Untethered Realms Post - DONE! Posted on June 10th
Finish another round of edits for UR special project - DONE! And I'm looking forward to getting a chance to share more about this project soon.
Keep up with Confessions of a Sex Fiend virtual book tour organized by Bewitching book tours - The last day of the tour was July 7th. It was worth the work following up each day. I hope new readers are able to enjoy the sexy, crazy, steamy of Chancellor Baltimore's world (created by my alter ego Rayven Godchild).
Start Shadow Jumpers III - No excuses. No reasons. Just...NO.

I'm working through my goal setting thoughts for July 2014. After a pretty busy first part of the year, I have a lot of things to consider.

What you won't need to consider is whether or not to enter this great giveaway by me and my wonder-mous Untethered Realms cohorts in writing. Make sure to enter for your chance at a great bundled prize!!

Now, I'm off to go do more reading of G.R.R.Martin's A Feast for Crows. The last time I started his A Song of Fire and Ice series, I didn't make it a tenth of the way through A Storm of Swords. Have you seen the Game of Thrones show on HBO? Have you read the series as well? Any thoughts to share ofn the show and/or the series? Please share them in the comments.

You had a LOT of goals for June! You shouldn't beat yourself up for not getting them all done!

I watch Game of Thrones. Love it! I did read the first book, but didn't bother reading any of the others. The show was following the book pretty closely, and there are so many other books I want to read ...

Wow! You amaze with how much you do. I didn't get much done last month at all. I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones. The show and the books. I love how the show is sticking close to the books. Not exact, but better than any other book to TV series I've seen.

I try not to read anything heavy while I'm in the midst of writing new stuff. I can do that while editing, but when I'm first creating, I have to read fluffy stuff that doesn't stay with me during my writing time.
